Marketing twats came up with it. The idea is that if you already have put in the effort to add the game to your cart you are more likely to just buy it even if you find out that the discount is mediocre whereas if the discount is known but not impressive you are more likely to just ignore the mail. If you use GMail or another big email provider then just mark it as spam and let their sender reputation suffer until they get the hint.
It was removed because of some copyright issues with the live action footage, and supposedly the removal was only "temporary". Yeah, my ass.Apparently Metal Gear Solid 2 was on GOG but was delisted for some reason and unlikely to return thanks to MGS Master Collection on Steam
I'm not really bothered by the emails, they go to the tab for ads/offers and I have this address mostly for stuff like GOG and other shops. If that's their sales strategy, they failed completely because I didn't bother following the link, if I saw what the price was and the game was interesting to me, I might have. I've never seen this strategy before (BIG DISCOUNT, PLEASE BUY SOME SHIT, WHAT'S THE PRICE? I DUNNO, IT'S A MYSTERY), and with how short people's attention spans are now, they expect the customers to do the work and engage with their spam, only to find out what the price is? Ok, I guess I don't understand marketing.
